POLARTEC TECHNOLOGY

Salewa has a longlasting relationship with Polartec. This fabric has been established in 1906, Polartec® started its mission as Malden Mills, supplying wool knitwear to soldiers through two world wars. Since then it has evolved and Polartec® has been a fabric for outdoor enthusiasts for decades. The quality of the technology is reliable and, above all, warm, thanks to its proven durability, light heat and quick-drying characteristics.
Polartec® is a fabric which is soft and breathable and offers warmth without the weight. The high ceiling of the fibres traps warm air for effective insulation outside. The hydrophobic fabrics of Polartec® are water repellent for faster drying times. This ensures more heating and comfort.
